Man dies after driving off Trans Mountain Road

El Paso County sheriff's spokeswoman Chris Acosta said that the vehicle drove off a cliff on the mountain road at about 4:15 p.m. in a crash seen by several witnesses. The man died at the scene. The road was closed less than a half hour during the start of the investigation.

Sheriff's investigators were trying to determine why the vehicle went off the cliff and if the crash may have been intentional. Investigators will "check to see if he had brake problems or if it was a suicide," Acosta said.

The man's name was not immediately available. The investigation continued late Thursday night.
